0:33

Nerds and geeks back at it again. It is the legendary Saturday nights of

0:38

the Nerdle round table. What's up? In full effect, King Nerdificent,

0:47

while the sharp in the building, happy to see Tom, is talking cunning

0:52

hand. Welcome back, brother man. Look at the look it is.

0:59

It is blessing to see you upright and smiling. Man. I know you

1:02

went through it, and and it is it is a blessing just that you

1:06

had a strong medical team around you, and that you did not do what

1:10

so many black men do. And just like nah, I put some robotusting

1:12

on it, like, nah, you said this shit serious? I think

1:19

I think peroxide it would have been the thing that black folks would have done.

1:25

I did try peroxide before the hospitalization. I literally did, because I

1:30

had no idea really what was going on. And it escalated in forty eight

1:34

hours, and so I try peroxide first and that didn't work. And I

1:38

had the foresight to tell my son, Hey, when you picked me up,

1:42

I want you to say you to the hospital. And so it's been

1:47

a smooth ith sailing ever since. I do not have a Dion Sanders situation,

1:55

which was question. It was a it was a legit open question weeks

2:00

ago. No, hey, no, I know, And I first came in my mind like, oh man, Tom mannah not not the not the

2:07

snipping, not the snipping of the limbs, doctor Liz for the freeway.

2:12

How you doing? I am well, everyone looking good. I love that.

2:15

I love that roof, you know, for foof status, Ryan Twitch,

2:20

Matthew McBain, what's popping. I'm in a good mood right now because

2:23

of right now, this very second, my Raiders are in first place.

2:27

They probably won't be tomorrow, but right now I thought you was about to

2:30

stick because you got Spider Man ordered already and it's about to be in the

2:34

mail. I have Spider Man pre ordered, that's been pre ordered. Yeah

2:38

yeah, I as soon as Ryan said something, because I was like,

2:42

wait, Spider Man, wait two. I thought we were doing three.

2:45

And then I went and saw it and my son was spectacularly non plus.

2:47

He was like, yeah, but it's not two players, man, just

2:53

trade off between the Spider Man. I was like, oh, I thought

2:57

I could. No, Dad. I was like, bad kids today,

3:00

they're hard to impress. Absolutely, they don't like shit. No, just

3:08

wait, Liz, the order of your kids get the more they will not

3:10

like anything, and I mean anything, even things that they tell you they

3:15

like. When you say, oh yeah, I got that thing you like,

3:17

it's like it's such he is such a teenager. I can't even stand

3:27

he is a super teen. Yeah man, I love it. I love

3:31

the one word answers, how's your that good? What was a good thing

3:36

that happened? Wasn't bad? It's like my kids used to talk mila minute.

3:40

Now it's just uh huh yep, And then it's it's only excitement when

3:45

they're playing the game with their friends. That's why I hear them. So I'm like, oh so you can talk, Oh okay, got it.

3:51

I mean if you're not only getting an eye roll. That's the other thing,

3:53

the iye roll yeah yeah yeah yeah, and the half shut and the

3:57

half lid. So do your kids use mid? Your kids say no,

4:03

what is that? So? Mid is like just very flat and neutral average,

4:11

like like lit is lit. The mid is like I think I'm only

4:19

getting the phrase bombastic side I. Why don't you just use the side I

4:27

instead of saying bombastic side eye that's the daughters giving you the verbal hast kids

4:40

two kids. So I've seen it, but right, but you can take

4:45

it home to struggle with exactly. Yeah. Man uh. This week on

4:50

the Round Table, we've got a couple of episodes of The Soca to catch

4:55

up on. Liz has had the pleasure of seeing the old Men back in

4:59

action, and Tom has actually pinned a magnificent indie film that is out there

5:05

burning up the charts. Number one wasn't on to be Shit, No,

5:11

to be Black. I don't watch that. Jack Black. Record this podcast

5:23

as a movie for to be Hey, pitch it so we can get a

5:28

check. I am down, Okay, So my pitch for this two by

5:33

podcast movie is secretly Ryan is a killer and at the end of it,

5:39

we find out that he prerecorded his segment and he kills each one of us

5:43

during the course of the podcast, and our screen just goes black. And

5:46

hey, that's that's dull damn down. I'm down, oh man on one

6:00

side. Down, Blood and Money flooded, blood and Money. The podcast

6:09

Lord of Mercy, That's not All Black, All Black ALLLBLK available on Amazon

6:15

trying nice. Look, hey, look, look, look, let's roll

6:19

it along. I have to give Dave Feloni the rock Him status because he

6:27

is the god of Star Wars. This man has has actually finally gotten to

6:32

do his thing. He's been a part of everything that's happened in the live

6:36

action Star Wars universe, you know. But John Favreau was leading the way,

6:41

and this is Dave Filoni said, it's okay, no, no, no, John, I got y'all. I'll come in and do some stuff

6:44

with this too. But Asoka is his thing. It's a character that he

6:47

created, he introduced through the Clone Wars and with this Asoka series. What

6:53

he is essentially saying it is something that I keep hearing from non fans I

6:58

don't get it. He is basically saying, well, I'm gonna give a

7:01

fuck if you don't get it. I'm doing this for the fans. I'm

7:03

doing this for the people who watch my shit who know what I'm talking about.

7:08

If you don't know it, well get a bar, go watch fucking

7:11

Asoka. Otherwise leave me alone. I'm doing this for the fans, the

7:15

serious fans, and every episode of Asoka it's better and better, and it

7:21

is quite possibly for me, the best Star Wars thing I've seen because of

7:28

how overall encompassing, Like I loved and Or but it was missing action.

7:32

I did not like Obi Wan. I liked season one and two of Mandalorian.

7:36

Season three you know it got it got grogified. You know the pamph

7:43

little Boba Fett that sucked every bit of assid Possibly could we get to a

7:47

series. Now we're in a stride where they're doing it, and my mind

7:53

cannot be blown the number of times I just rewind shit just to say,

7:57

did they just say that? Did they just do that? Oh my god,

8:00

McBay and I know that you have been going off on asokas just got

8:07

so big. There's two episodes left. There's still a part of me and

8:11

it goes, oh, they're gonna suck it up, though, because I

8:13

always listen to what Liz says, and this is like all the fuck it

8:16

up. I'm so I'm still worried. They have a very good track rate

8:22

of they are doing bad things. Look like every once in a while,

8:26

there's a will do some good stuff every once in a while, like and Or was good. But it's kind of grounded, grounded in its own like

8:33

universe. Uh and it's like not really like mystical or whatever. Uh Ahsoka

8:41

is in its own little set universe and it's more fantasy, sci fi,

8:45

mystical, whatever, and I am loving it. I love the fact that

8:48

people don't. Some people just don't get it or don't like it. And

8:50

if those are your opinions on that show, then you probably like the Last

8:56

Jedi. I'm not gonna damn any names. Some people depended that movie.

9:01

I'm not gonna name no names because we're gonna be peaceful here, because I'm very, very happy. But the show's gotta be breaking down lightsaber forms,

9:09

Okay. I mean, like, dude, I've never done that before.

9:11

I'm like, oh, don't do that, don't do this. Uh dude.

9:15

When when Sabine finally found Ezra, I'm like, dude, they had

9:18

to fucking scar on Ezra, I'm like, dude, they're don't wanted to

9:22

detail detail. So I have a question to ask because I've been watching you

9:28

guys nerd Gasm series, and due to my circumstances I was I watched the

9:35

first three and I haven't been able to watch anything since. So I'm not

9:39

about what I what I will ask you though, taken as a whole,

9:46

when all the episodes are done, based on what you've seen, now,

9:48

which trilogy would you replace with Ahsoka as broken up into three movies. I

9:54

know your wild guess, take a wild guess, but my my rationale is

10:01

different than yours. My rationale is because as a as a fan of the

10:07

series in the seventies slash eighties, the stuff that came out in not fan

10:13

fiction but extended universe. Basically the Star Wars the big story with Hahn and

10:18

Leah married, and Luke and Mara Jaide and Thrawn as the big bad that's

10:26

what I wanted to see. And when I started hearing about Asoka, and

10:30

I thought Rosario Dawson was great casting, and then when I saw her,

10:33

I thought she was badass. And I really enjoyed the first episodes that I

10:37

saw. But the thing that caught my attention was is that we're finally getting

10:41

live action Thrawn. And it's kind of like how they shoehorned a snatch of

10:48

World War Hulk into Ragnarok because they couldn't do a solo Hulk film, But

10:52

we got Hulk on battle on the Battle World of spar and I was like,

10:56

so, this is how they're getting us thrown And that's the genius to

11:01

me of everything about this series, not only that it's well written, and

11:05

you alluded to it Twala about it being service for the fans, but the

11:09

Thron's story instead of recreating and basically redoing the original trilogy with seven eight nine.

11:18

If they had done this and Han Solo hadn't had to die and you

11:22

know, blah blah blah, Ye Carry Fisher wasn't on one and she had

11:26

to die, and you know, it could have been you could have woven

11:33

some of this stuff into it and it would have been so much better.

11:37

I do away with all of the other six movies. It should have been

11:41

the original trilogy and this story and the stuff that built up to it,

11:46

with rebels and everything else. It helps to fill in the gaps because it

11:50

created a Soca and then you got Ezra, you know, and all that other sort of stuff. But that's what I'm really digging about this, the

11:56

fact that it feels like the best kind of Star Wars because George Lucas isn't

12:03

touching them. Yeah yeah, I mean it has reverence to George Lucas and

12:09

that it is from the Star Wars universe. But this is for people who

12:13

are saying, hey, we're not worried about cute cuddly toy selling. We're

12:18

not worried about toy selling, period. We're not. We're doing something we've

12:24

never done. We're actually servicing the fans that that last trilogy of films was

12:30

such an affront to justice for Star Wars fans, Like I liked the Rise

12:37

of what was the first one called the Fun What was that one? Awakens?

12:41

Force Awakens. I liked Force Awakens right up until the point when Han

12:46

asked Finn what his role was as a stormtrooper. When he said, I

12:52

was a maintenance operator. I said, I need to leave this fucking theater.

12:58

It was for me. It was when they neutered Fin and he didn't

13:01

get to bone Ray right like he definitely he definitely should have got that.

13:07

He definitely should have had some Force Awakening right there. Sorry the rest,

13:13

but the audience feels the same way because I mean they've had declining sceneing because

13:20

Force Awakens you had. I mean it was packed, and over the years

13:24

it's less and less packed on opening weekend. So let's be a real here.

13:30

Force Awakens. All it was was just like a reboot of New Hope.

13:33

Yeah it was, yeah, almost gender swapped. It was just ginger

13:37

swap. That's all it was. Yeah, back to Asika. What I

13:39

really really like is like different people don't seem one dimensional, even Bayalin.

13:45

Uh Like like like this last latest episode, they're really like going into how

13:48

he feels, like this whole thought process, and I'm like really interested and

13:52

see where they're gonna take that character. Uh, it's it's just money.

13:58

I have so many questions. I'm just so Cure is like, so they

14:01

were out there in that part of space for at least a decade, I

14:03

would imagine, Yeah they were. Yeah, it's been a decade. So

14:07

this is so I'm wondering, like jud like, something's gonna happen, is

14:11

someone's gonna die? Ay're gonna be left out there. There's some questions gonna

14:16

be explained because unfortunately this leads into you know, that ship sequel trilogy and

14:22

also, uh, they're giving ray uh Ray Palpatine her own her her own

14:28

trilogy, so are well, well they are my understanding, it was just

14:31

they're giving her a film, not a trilogy. Well I hope, I

14:35

hope you haven't read that. It's a trilogy now, I mean, just

14:41

just to just to add insult to injury, you know, next week,

14:45

the creators coming out. And I did finally see a trailer on this in

14:50

the movies today, and I mean, because you know, they're pitching this

14:54

as the director of Rogue one. So in my mom I was like,

15:01

Okay, you've been giving us interludes on this. It felt like maybe I'm

15:07

wrong, guys, But did it not feel like this was attached to Star

15:09

Wars. No, because it's far far away. That's true, it's in

15:18

your future. I get it. But I mean the way that they've been

15:22

interluding this with Decree, you know, the directors from there trying to get

15:28

it has nothing to do with Star Wars, but they're trying to get Star

15:31

Wars fans to watch. That's why, because Rogue One was actually a good

15:35

movie. It wasn't needed, but it was fine, So they're trying to

15:37

get that audience to come to a the guy who did Rogue one. You

15:41

know, I know, sometimes we fuck up with Star Wars. Baby here,

15:43

and the coloring too. The coloring seems to be like a Star Wars

15:48

esque movie, so you can tell. You can tell that, you can

15:52

tell the director did it. It's it's it has it has all of the

15:58

makings of someone who did it Rowe one. It's almost like, yeah, I can tell you did it because it looks the same. I saw the

16:04

preview and in my mind, I'm thinking this was expensive. Oh yeah,

16:11

and I have zero belief that this is going to go well. You know

16:15

where were you lost me? With the creator John David Washington as a lead,

16:22

you talk about unfulfilled genetic promise. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, John

16:30

David. You are not. You are not You're not. You just ain't.

16:38

And the fact that your dad, at nine hundred and forty two years

16:42

old as an action star, can open a movie bigger than this movie is

16:48

not going to do an Equalizer three D well. The problem the problem with

16:51

the Creator is is it suffers from the fact that it's It's a story that

16:56

we've seen a million times before. This is the last dammarai. This is

17:00

all of these movies where you got a guy who sent him to go do

17:04

a thing, he meets a kid, and the kid changes his heart,

17:07

and then he goes and something goes wrong and living amongst the people he was

17:12

supposed to hate, and then he rise up, Oh my god, wait

17:15

a minute, all robots aren't bad. And then he has to defend them,

17:18

and they show you the whole fucking movie, the premise of it in

17:21

the trail, and I say to myself, this is not a good movie. If I could bad. No, no, no, you know what

17:29

it reminds you of? Okay, so I would say, years ago,

17:34

there was that movie where you know, everybody lived above the earth. Remember

17:44

no, no, it was everybody lived machines. And then no, it's

17:52

I mean, I can google it, but everybody lived in every Yes,

17:56

which one Alita battle that's what it's Elite, a battle angel. This is

18:00

what it reminds you of if it also it seems to remind me conceptually of

18:10

Enders Game, not the movie, but the story of Enders Game, where

18:15

you have an alien intelligence it's a hive mind that's kind of like AI,

18:18

but there's a big misunderstanding and there's a huge battle and the forces are against

18:22

each other and if they can get to the home world and do this thing,

18:26

and Ender's got to do this thing, but then he ends up, you know, communicating and sympathizing with the queen and then did it to day.

18:33

It's just I just it's it's it's October, the strike is on.

18:41

It's a high concept film. Nobody can promote it. It just seems like

18:45

we're it's gonna be in trouble. And honestly, tualla, we can't even

18:48

wait until November. It's gonna take TV shows and productions six weeks to spin

18:53

up. They've been down one hundred plus days. If it doesn't happen like

18:59

first week of October, it's a rat Yeah, you're not gonna be able

19:03

to shoot anything. I mean, they would literally have to. The writers

19:07

would have to come out next week and say, hey, our meeting on

19:10

Friday was the success. We are good. After that, there will be

19:14

another two weeks of ratifying that deal. And within that time SAG after would

19:18

also simultaneously have to because they haven't come to the table yet, So they

19:22

have to come to the table first, and then the table. Oh no,

19:27

no, no, they they they had their initial meeting and they said,

19:32

nope, we're not feeling it. We are going on strike. And they've been on strike since. There have been no more negotiations anyway, negotiation

19:40

and Thursday on Thursday, that's that's the writers, the writers. I said,

19:47

the writers had their thing. SAG hasn't really moved. Yeah, but

19:51

but I think that the discussions though, we're not just with the writers.

19:55

It was the combined efforts on the writer's side, as the news reporting it

20:00

differently. No, it's it's right now. It's the writer's guild that is

20:03

operating, and they're the ones that have Iger and Zaslav and Hunger from NBC

20:08

and and the Cat from Netflix. Though they all came together to meet with

20:12

the writers and the deal that they've laid out. They're like, Hey,

20:15

this is what we wanted. This is looking good. If we can,

20:19

if we can get the light right. Now they're at the point where they

20:22

get the language right. Everything is good. They like everything that's being said.

20:26

Put it on paper, and we're good. But still to Toma's point,

20:30

even even if the right even if sag after comes to the table and

20:33

they and they say, hey, you know what, end of October,

20:37

no matter what, nothing is happening until top of the year at the earliest.

20:41

Now you can have all of the nighttime shows. You can have Kimmel

20:45

and all them. They can come back Saturday Night Live. They're good.

20:48

The daytime talk shows, all that Dancing with the Stars, every all the

20:52

shows that don't require the level of production that you would need for a future

20:56

film or for some of these television series that have been pushed back to twenty

21:00

twenty four. They didn't push them back and then say oh no, no,

21:03

no, no, come on back. No, it's not it doesn't

21:06

work like that. They're coming out twenty twenty four. Nothing is happening this

21:10

year. There's no films coming out that are really, really, really going

21:15

to do it. Hopefully though, with his holiday season coming something else you

21:19

just said, Tom, the actors, if they all can ratify a deal,

21:22

they can start promoting the mooting, and then you can start getting people

21:26

some some money in their pockets and stuff can be successful. Some of these

21:30

movies, now, I mean some of these movies at the end of this

21:33

year is exactly expensive. Aquamans coming out December. That's trash. No one

21:40

was watching that movie. That movie needs to be struck. What I'm saying

21:45

is that it's costs a lot of money. And then and you have the

21:51

Marvels that I'm sure has called it. They not a stinging group that's costing

22:03

a lot of money. This Creator movie, I think would have struggled even

22:07

with the promotions, but it's going to be even worse. Now there is

22:11

no promotion more Worsters The Beatles coming on DVD next week, and and and

22:19

the Marvel saw that I haven't seen it yet. Is it worth watching?

22:26

Okay, I'll say this. I watch it with my sons, Okay,

22:32

okay, because they both wanted to see it. There there is one non

22:38

Latino in the movie with lines, and that person is Susan Sarandon. Everybody

22:45

else, everybody else who has accredited role is of a Latino persuasion. Ted

22:56

Cord's daughter somehow is Brazilian, even though Resilian mom died when she was six,

23:02

and apparently she stayed in the United States for the rest of her life. She's got a light Brazilian accent. The main antagonist outside of Susan Sarandon,

23:11

is from like Nicaragua or something. And then you have the whole Reje's

23:18

family, all of them obviously three illegal or three undocumented, and then the

23:26

kids that were born there. The grandma turns out to have a thor love

23:33

and thunder sequence where all of a sudden she's like a Sanders and Rebel.

23:37

It's just it's, oh my god. There's there's a satisfying moment there.

23:44

And and they're some of the battle. The battle sequence with the final Big

23:48

Bad Battle sequence is better than the Secret Invasion Big Bad Battle Sea. Well

23:53

that's not hard. Yes, that's what I mean. Tom. Look,

23:57

I appreciate after her digging for some some praise. I appreciate the dig for

24:03

some praise because look, I love Cholo and his mom, so I could

24:07

just appreciate how hard he was a charismatic guy. There is a sequence in

24:15

the movie where the Scare of Suit is rebooting for ten and a half minutes,

24:19

which and the daughter, his sister, Malagro, she was annoying.

24:29

And this movie is just so full of tropes. George Lopez is a walking

24:33

stereotype. Every syllable out of his mouth. It's just it's I told I

24:41

told one of my friends who I work with, brother Ira Will. I

24:45

said, hey, man, I am not Latino, but I'm telling you

24:48

I am offended for you and your people that this film came out because the

24:52

depiction that they are giving, even today in the climate and how superhero films

24:57

are being made. This film goes back to you know, uh, blank

25:03

man and shit like that. As far as far's not slander blank man like

25:11

that, I mean okay, steal hell steal, Okay, I'll buy steal.

25:18

The film is on far with shacks steal it is, Yeah, but

25:22

even into it for reason Yeah that I mean, I in retrospect, I

25:29

can understand how if you wanted to get Omack in, but but you didn't

25:34

go with the Batman version of Omac. You didn't go with the original version

25:37

of Omac. You didn't go with it. I mean, it's just you

25:41

had a name. You had a name, and you attached it to something

25:45

that's not material. For Surrandon was supposed to save this movie. I didn't.

25:49

I don't know if Susan Surrandon knew she was in the movie, because

25:52

there were several moments in the filming where I said to myself, I could

25:56

almost see someone on the side saying, mister Randon over here, No,

26:00

no, no, look over here, mister Randon. Because there are some

26:02

moments where I was like, does she know where the camera is? Because

26:04

she's just talking and moving and I'm like, the cameras over here, lady,

26:08

camera, Let's see what he can do. So it seems like she's

26:11

like the family really got a place. You're saying that that character doesn't fit

26:17

into this movie whatsoever. She's ted Forwards Boulder sister. She's basically she's basically

26:23

Hala who's upset that she got passed over and somehow the scar of which came

26:30

to Ted was actually hers. And she's like Obadiah, staying because she wants

26:40

to make weapons again. And there's literally eight thirty thousand square foot mansion in

26:45

Palmera, which is supposed to be Miami. Is the is the fact that

26:52

they carry it out in a burger box. Look, no, it's not.

26:56

It's not, Liz. It's not so much that they carried down the

27:00

burger box that that's that's that's that that's a flaw in the writing. Okay,

27:03

there's that, But the fact that you have this thing that you've been

27:07

searching for forever, you've seen lots of money, and it's not it's literally

27:12

sitting on someone's desk, like plugged into a damn USB cord like a three

27:18

D printer. Yeah, basically just sitting there like and someone and and there's

27:23

no there's no guards, no nothing, and hard to get into get the

27:27

film. Why does the girl, even if she's Ted Court's daughter, if

27:33

Victoria doesn't trust her or want her to do anything. Why did she have

27:36

security clearance to get in there in the first place? Why did you? Why did she I'll tell you this I told my son at the end of

27:44

the movie. This isn't exactly a spoiler, but there's a character named named

27:51

Sanchez, and at the end of the movie I told said, I am

27:56

not or my name is not Sanchez. And when he says those words,

28:02

my son looked at me. He's like, how did you know he's gonna say that. I was like, son, I'm a screenwriter, and this

28:07

movie has so many tropes in it that it was inevitable because he qued you

28:11

twice he said, my name is not Sanchez, my name is not Sanchez,

28:15

so inevitably the third my name is not Sanchez was going to be the

28:18

big one, and of course he dies immediately after that. But this the

28:22

only thing this movie was missing was Danny Trujillo as Protag as the antagonist,

28:29

because that really was kind of like a Danny Trihio role, except he's probably

28:33

a little too scraggly. This guy was better looking than than Danny Trucillo,

28:38

but they let him walk around with a metal hand. I liked the little

28:42

backstory they gave Actually, when they finally gave him one, Yeah, I

28:47

kind of liked that, and it's set up one of the most satisfying moments

28:51

in the movie. So it wasn't all My sons ended up saying five out

28:56

of ten. So and Tommy tom he actually said six out of ten that

29:03

I love. Yeah, but it's it's not great. Amber heard in the

29:07

Susan Sarandon role would have made it worse. Yeah, that sounds kind of

29:12

shitty listened when you when you consider and this is not not paying lip service

29:22

to Tualla's homies. He is a charismatical lead, just like he's a charismatic

29:27

lead in Cobra Kai. Yeah, and as as it goes, if you

29:32

were going to pick somebody in his age cohort who plays his age, I

29:37

don't know who else you would have picked, because he's got the physicality to

29:41

do the action, and he's got the charisma to be a romantic lead,

29:45

and he's got the you know, the right sort of attitude, and he's

29:48

got the pathos to play some of the big emotions that get played. If

29:52

they hadn't stuck him with the obviously annoying sidekicks, sister who is basically,

30:00

you know, the ned of this movie if you hadn't had the very broadly

30:07

stroked grandma who looks like she's ready to offer you a cup of Abuilita hot

30:11

coco until she turns into a person who's wielding a mini gun in the third

30:18

act, a mini gun, not just an ak, a fucking mini that

30:26

she was also able to access and use. This alien made I mean,

30:33

but take core was building off of the technology, and for everyone who automatically

30:38

had this No, that's what I'm saying. She also now eighty yeah,

30:44

and you can't carry a mini gun. Freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger had trouble carrying a

30:48

mini gun. Has the terminator. I'm just saying. It's a it's a

30:53

lot. It's it's a lot when you have Uncle Stereotype who is a fool

31:00

for the whole movie and then gets into, you know, a super advanced

31:03

piece of technology and it's just like the key and just goes. I say,

31:07

what the fuck? Why was he? Why did he have a device

31:11

that he happened to be working on that was just a video jamming system that

31:18

filled an entire trunk and looked like it was built out of gasoline containers.

31:23

But the only reason it had to be that big is because it had to

31:26

be used to save him life. And so it's just I mean Tom.

31:33

By the time this movie was over and they had the resolve where Dad was

31:38

killed and there and the Raya's household God and the Black Panther thing, that

31:45

spiritual plane, the astral plane doesn't exist in any Blue Beetles stories or whatever.

31:51

That was really hard to swallow, but yeah they did. Dad died

31:55

and Dad had to come back and say, n this is what I was

31:57

always was my this is my destiny here in this moment to be killed.

32:04

So when you're almost killed, you could come and see me and I could

32:07

touch your heart and I could turn you into the superhero to an insult.

32:15

Look, but see the problem is this Ryan and this This is where I

32:17

walk away from the film with what the fuck is happening right now? Because

32:22

all this happens because the daughter of Ted Cord did this thing, all right,

32:28

she did this thing, She stole this thing, she gave it to

32:30

him, and all this trauma happened to his family. Fucker lost his dad

32:34

and this at the end of the film, she comes to them and says,

32:37

hey, my bad. Now that she's taken over this trillion dollars couple,

32:44

she says, hey, my bad, the house is yours, the

32:47

house that was destroyed that you guys were about to lose because this then the

32:51

other I'm going to give you that house. Okay, I'm out. And

32:54

I'm like, the fuck are we doing right now? Like this is the

32:58

the kid him has no job. The family guess they got ownership of the

33:04

one or two bedroom house that they all live in. I'm like this,

33:07

this is really really, really really bad. The great part about this is

33:14

everything Tom said about Soholo is correct. He is jaime Reaz and James Gunn

33:20

saw that, and James Gunn has said I look forward to working with him

33:24

on a future project him and that to me, out of everything that came

33:30

out of this film, if it was an opportunity to showcase Soolo mar Duenna

33:35

as A as a credible lead on his own in a superhero franchise, they

33:40

did that, and I look forward to seeing him in future projects. And

33:45

Tom, I know you gotta skidaddle, but I need to know everything we

33:51

can know about your film without you crossing the picket line. To tell us

33:53

about it. But please break this now. This is this is my debut

33:59

feature. It's All Family Portrait. It is available on All Black. I'm

34:07

as this to be my first feature. I'm pleased to say that for the

34:10

last three weeks has been the number one film on All Black, and it

34:15

is number four overall and streaming in this third week. It started out as

34:19

number three of everything that's streaming on the platform and now it's number four,

34:22

but it's still the number one movie. So if anybody is interested, you

34:28

can go to Amazon Prime. If you watch we TV, they are advertising

34:35

movie on we TV. So and you're hearing my mother in the background,

34:38

who doesn't know I'm on a podcast right now, and so she's talking to

34:42

somebody about my But it's it's a real family portrait. It's so meta,

34:47

So please watch it. I think you'll enjoy it. I enjoy ciding it.

34:53

Family Portrait, Okay, Family Portrait, All Black, All LBLK of

35:00

stars, stars study nice. I don't want to get any of the folks

35:05

in trouble. But if you are a nerd, you will recognize one of

35:07

the male leads. If you were a fan of the show, you'll recognize

35:12

one of the male leads if you are the Michael Jackson story, one of

35:19

the cameos, and it was a joy to be a part of the project.

35:23

So I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed, right

35:30

man. Congratulations, man, that's one of the reasons I want to strike

35:34

could be over so we can get back to supporting folks like you who we

35:37

know and and have an opportunity and have a platform like you know later with

35:42

Mo Kelly on k ifire or even sold Call Saturday where we can, you

35:46

know, put you guys up there and say like, you know, like,

35:49

yo, man, this is our family here. Man, they're doing

35:51

it man like. So, yeah, we need this to be over,

35:53

especially because without the strike, or the strike continues and the writers can right

36:00

then we're going to keep getting movies like Expendables four, which, from my

36:04

understanding from Liz, Liz has said this is quite possibly the worst waste of

36:07

time ever put on screen. It's an iland forty three minutes too see you

36:14

know what? And I googled this because I was like, what made Expendables

36:19

so good? I don't want to say so good, but the thing that

36:22

made Expendables decent to continue to keep watching is the fact that it brought back

36:28

every single action star, right, And so I started looking like, you

36:34

know, you had Jet Lee. I know that Mickey work is dead,

36:37

but you had him. You had Steve Austin of course, Sylvester Stallone,

36:44

Jason Stadham. And then as we keep going Expendables too, we have Bruce

36:50

Weiller's John Clarde VANDAM. When we've seen John Clarude Vandam, you know,

36:53

you don't see him often. And then you get to and then you get

36:58

to this one, and the only people that is left is Oh, that's

37:07

it, no longer is in it. Randy Randy Kator. He was part

37:13

of the originals. You have Dolph Longren. They added fifty cents and I

37:17

actually liked the fifty cents movies. I like, I like idea as an

37:22

actor. So I will just say this. I think I saw the first

37:24

Expendables commercial a trailer like two weeks ago, and it felt like a teaser.

37:31

And the fact that the movie is opened, like there wasn't a barrage

37:36

of like Expendables like Last and Furious Ax or whatever. I I when you

37:44

said you saw it, I was like, how in the hell did she see that movie? It can't be coming out till next year, and the

37:49

fact that it's opening this week, I have to say, I am looking

37:52

forward to I actually am I'm looking forward to Exorcist because I love the fact

38:00

that the original stars and I actually really enjoyed Exorcist three, to be honest.

38:05

I loved the Patrick Ewing cameo, and I liked a lot of Exorcist

38:12

three Exorcist too. You can completely skip over, but apparently I'm really I

38:16

liked the Exorcist TV series, and so I'm I'm looking forward to the Exorcist

38:21

movie. I did finally see they clone Tyrone nice. I mean, you

38:29

could see the ending amount of way. But I thought Jamie Thoughts was really

38:34

strong. I love Love Love to you on a Parish, and and I

38:37

thought John Boyega did a really good job. Yeah, Hollywood, stop casting

38:45

John David and start casting John Boyega. Yeah. The fact that John Boyega

38:50

made me forget that he was he was. Yeah, but I was like,

38:53

what the fuck this dude? It was the master of accents and dialect

39:00

is like, this dude is the man, and it's like to be able

39:04

to dig into such a dark gritty role. I was like, what the

39:07

fuck is happening in Hollywood's Yeah, But the thing about I'm getting back to

39:13

expendables because the problem that I I know, but the problem that I have

39:17

with the movie the most is that you are want to see all the stars

39:22

in the movie so much that you don't that the storyline can be weak.

39:25

But when you don't have all the stars in the movie, the storyline becomes

39:31

so blatantly pathetic, Like like home dude is looking inside of a classified section

39:40

of the newspaper circling to be a bodyguard of a social media person, and

39:47

you're like, wait a second, who puts classifies and newspapers? You have

39:53

a newspaper who does have a newspaper? While he man you said these were

40:01

some of the same questions from Venom two and the media. So a social

40:07

media person is going to put an ad in a new classified section of a

40:12

newspaper. Sorry, sorry, bad, He's already bad. And then when

40:17

you have and I'm not gonna give anything else, but this is my last

40:20

name, When you have Sylvester Stallone that is barely in the movie, When

40:25

this is Sylvester Stallone on his back that carries this kind of movie. What

40:32

are we doing? Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

40:35

Sylvester Stallone. Who is the lead of this film? He is he is

40:38

the expendable inexpendables. This is his team. What do you mean he's not

40:43

in the movie? What do you mean he's barely in the movie, Like he's less than thirty minutes out of the entire movie. The fuck? Oh

40:55

man? And you know here's the crazy thing. I don't think us to

40:59

see it last night. I got tickets to see it last night, and when I got off work, I said to myself, you know it,

41:04

Okay, I'm let me go and catch this midnight show. And then I

41:07

paused and I said, really, though, do I need to see this?

41:12

And I said, it'll be on It'll be on DVD probably in a

41:15

week. Why because the ship's only gonna do like eleven million this week.

41:21

I mean, like, I think opening day was three point five million.

41:23

They're predicting it'll do eight over the weekend. So this, this is,

41:28

this is not gonna be a good look. You know it'll it'll be It'll

41:31

be available to download zone and just on track for one hundred twenty five.

41:38

Oh see what a concert swift Yeah, well the Swifties. Yeah. I

41:45

can't wait for the Beyonce Renaissance concert film. I know they've been doing footage

41:51

from every one of these damn shows since I wasn't able to see it because

41:55

of my situation. My goddaughter was very happy. I was not, And

42:00

with that I got my life. Can we do the rap because yes,

42:05

hey, no, look, we got it in. I'm glad that you Before we before we wrap, can we just say a shout out to that

42:13

the last movie, the Western movie which one oh Outlaw Johnny Black, Yes,

42:22

oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey look big love, big love

42:25

Johnny Black, Dynamite. Yeah, I mean big love to Michael Ji White.

42:30

Uh, big love to uh Gillian White, who you know is one

42:36

of the producers and and has you know, been a big, big,

42:39

big supporter of this film and been getting the word out like major. Look.

42:45

I think another actor that is underused and underappreciated is Michael Ji White because

42:51

he is funny as hell. His action chops are are not to be fucked

42:57

with, and and and I think that he does not get the right look.

43:01

But Tony Baker is in it too. It's such a good show.

43:07

I think that everyone's watch bet on Netflix, and that's all my eye.

43:12

It's good. But we got a wrap, alright, Tom, take us

43:15

out. Well you're muted. If if you're not me, is my flesh

43:22
